It's a nice well kept zoo with a variety of animals. They also have their own aquarium. They are also adding on for an island section. I have been to several zoos and this one is the best.
Well worth the money, tons to see and do, my favorites were the flamingos, penguins, and elephants. Get a orange crush icee on your way out, super tasty on a hot day.
Watching the baby elephant get a bath is beyond precious. I also really love the fact there is a petting zoo within the zoo, as it made my son incredibly happy to play with the goats (his favourite)
The zoo is on a hill therefore the easiest thing to do is to take the tram around the zoo. It's only $2 per person. When you get to the zoo there's an elevator, no need to hike up
The Penguins in the Aquarium are fans of the Penguins in the Arena. Historically, the Zoo would loan the local hockey team a Penguin, but it didn't always work out so well.
